Some Local Nonprofits Are Seeing Fewer Donations in Wake of Federal Tax Law Changes

Monday, April 8, 2019

Karla Fortunato, president of the Connecticut Council for Philanthropy, which represents grantmakers in the state, can't say for certain why some people seem to be eschewing their regular donations to local nonprofits, but she believes the 2017 federal tax reform law has a lot to do with it.
